Releasing an album every December for the last decade has been kinda exhausting, both mentally and creatively. So it's time to slow down a little and do some extra projects I've wanted to do for a while.
I'm turning 41 years old this year and don't have the energy I used to have to be constantly creating 24/7, haha!
But don't worry, the game songs aren't going anywhere, they're just gonna take a little longer to come out from now on. You guys have 200 other songs to keep you going while you wait so hopefully you should be ok :D
Big luv
One album a year for a solo production is indeed pretty insane. I'm glad you realized this stopped working in time and still have the motivation for stuff on the side.
We love your music, do it the way you see fit and the way you love! We will be waiting! C:
41 years old damn. You might be the best looking 41 year old i ever seen. You have created so many amazing songs you definetly deserve a good rest!
Thank you Gav. Really psyched for the Grainne Mhaol sea shanty, it's gon' be good.
Only four years that I know you, and clearly I never missed any one of your releases. I wish to thank you for all that you did. Take care of yourself, that's truly important ^^
So Gav, you gotta play this game. It's called "whatever the hell you want to play". People will recommend others but ultimately that's the best game you'll find anywhere.
Hey is that free to play game right? The one where anyone can do whatever the hell they want.
@@theobsidiangaming5381 Sometimes it feels like the game's basically too expensive to even think about getting it, but yeah it's always free
That one has free DLC and is the Game of the Century, right?
I heard there's no pay to win too, 10/10 I highly recommend.
I can't find it
Honestly, the more passion you have for a game the more obviously it shines through in your work, every time I load up Mojave Song I am so utterly blown and swept away by the music and end up rocking out for 8 solid minutes. I've been following you since your first Metro song and have loved absolutely everything you've released up until now, it'll be really good to see how you remake some music in this year! Hyped as hell man!
Nice to see you here Icy, but yea i agree with Icy here about having passion for the games you enjoy and what not
Of course Icy is commenting on here 😁 I first heard Miracle of Sound in Firefly and then watching your streams reminded me of them again so thanks for that!
Mojave Song is truly excellent. It definitely doesn’t make you wish for a nuclear winter... 👍
Mojave Song is so amazing
This right there. The shadow of the missing half. All I say.
Sending love your way dude
\m/ Rock on brother
"I want to make songs that someone who has never played a video game in their life can enjoy" - That's my wife. For 9 years she's listened to you after I introduced her and she's played maybe one game, or seen me play a few. She loves your music because it captures feeling, tones and stories and she get's the gist without ever playing or comes and asks me.
You succeed at what you set out to do. Keep going.
I'm glad to hear that! Means a lot when non-gamers can also enjoy the tunes just from the emotions and themes in them. High five to you both :)
@@miracleofsound You're really great with that, you know. My mother loves your music, and can guess what's song is about, and she doesn't know English. There aren't many artists who can do that.
@@miracleofsound i also played barely any of the games you made music on and still love it!
@@miracleofsound My parents also enjoy your music and they're 57 years old and definitely not gamers. My dad also often points out how varied my musical taste is and at one point when he was doing that, he pointed out how the song I was listening to at the time was so different from one I was listening to just an hour earlier and I told him that "dad, they were both by the same guy." He was really impressed with your range. Can't remember which two songs it was, though....
Same here, I'm the big gamer of the two of us but my wife loves your music as well, especially the more folky/Celtic stuff, which Includes Valhalla of course. Also my 3.5y old daughter can already sing along to some songs of yours :)
Commander Shepard is the Radiohead's Creep of Gav's back catalog.
Haha! Kinda yeah
I can’t say I’ve thought about it like that but, almost makes too much sense
Yeah, I like it and all, but my favorite has to be When the Wolves Cry Out. Musically, and thematically(absolutely nailed Jon Snow).
@@OnlyKaerius I've never seen GoT, but it still made sense to me. Very good song, that one.
@@Bob-yb5om I'm more of a book reader on that one. Saw a bit of the show, but didn't really follow it, cause I'd read the books. Also from what I understand they kinda butchered the last season, so yay for not seeing it I guess.
Been an absolute pleasure this past year. Your projects have pushed my skillset to its very max in a good way. Very excited to be part of all the good stuff coming up.
Ladies and gents, the man himself!
The man, the myth, the legend
Thank you for helping bring us so much great music.
@@picardman2 its an honour
It's Frank! You're a celebrity now, ya know. 😆 Thanks for your part in the wonderful music.
I know lots of people have said it already, but I want to say it again: you are an amazingly talented musician, an inspiring person, and I cannot tell you the ways you and your music have helped me get through rough days, months, years. You've already given so much, please, take the time for yourself and take as long as you need. I would much rather never hear a new song from you and know you're out somewhere happy, healthy, and in good spirits than have a new song every month and see you miserable and burned out. Take care of yourself. Those of us who understand will be waiting for your return. ❤️
Thanks for the kind words :)
When I first discovered your channel I was a junior in high school, in 2013/2014. My now 18-month-old daughter listened to the music so much while she was in the womb she recognized it when she came out and still dances whenever I put it on. And now my son is 21 weeks along and he kicks for the music too. It feels like you're music has joined me on my great life adventure. We are all so excited to see what comes next and see you do what makes you happy. 🧡
That's awesome! Congrats on your two little ones
@@miracleofsound thank you 🧡 your music has come with us through the best times and the worst times. little daughter (who doesn't quite understand the difference between talking in real life and social media lol) says "hello music" ☺️
How do you become a Legendary dad?
*This* is how!
Fun fact I’m listening to Shadows in the moonlight right now at school
You pay attention to your teachers
Dude I was too
That's one of my faves from the older songs :)
Sure sure
@@miracleofsound yeah I have a whole Apple playlist of almost all of your songs. And one dedicated to the AC ones
Love you Gavin! Do what's best for you, we'll still be here. :)
Hey baltmatrix
I seriously appreciate your artistic integrity, and the fact that you only release songs based off things you're passionate about rather than chasing fads. It shows so much in the quality of what you put out.
Do whatever you need to do to keep that fire burning, we'll be here eagerly waiting no matter how long it takes or what direction your muse sends you.
Y'know what gav? You've basically given us such a vast wave of songs, you should take some time for yourself and this seems like the perfect time. So take your time, find your center, and when you're ready, come on back and wow us yet again with another fantastic track.
Yes we will be here when you are back! Take your time burnout is too real.
Agreed! I find it hard enough creating a backstory for a godsdamned Dnd character! Cannot imagine creating A entire godsdamned song! You deserve a break gav!
My Dad doesn't play video games and frankly isn't interested in them at all. However, he is a big fan of your music, so through your songs, I'm able to share something I'm passionate about with him.
Hey Gav, you may not know this, or maybe you do, but so many of us have listened to your music since the beginning. We've been here for over a decade, our interests have evolved with yours because the content drew us in, but we stayed for the artist. Whatever direction you go, we'll be excited to see what you do next. This year's gonna be great.
I'm glad you're prioritizing personal projects this year. Covid has been brutal and we all deserve to put our wellbeing first, whatever that means.
I didn't think I would be this excited for a sea shanty version of Grainne Mhaol but hearing that you're bringing in the musicians from Cu Chulainn is absolutely spiking my hype meter.
I know! My favorite song of his
Take some time man, we'll still be here when you get back
I know it's a bit of a long shot but I'd love to hear a remake of "Don't Say a Word." That song means a lot to me.
That was actually the first song I chose to remaster! I love the song but am not at all happy with my original mix
Really? That's surprising to me. It's my favorite you've ever done, my daughter even asks me to sing it for her as a lullaby every night.
@@henrywood3110 Don't Say A Word was one of the firsts songs I stumbled upon on Spotify after checking out more of Gav's music, and it still gets me each time. It's incredible.
I'm listening MoS not because you write songs about popular games, but because your voice, your music and lyrics. So, just go on to do what you want, and good luck!🍀💛
Understandable. Take a break, work on other projects, whatever suits you. You made our last 10 years happier with your songs. You deserve to enjoy your success.
You likely get the message a lot but your music has really helped me process through some rather rough times. Please take any breaks you need in any form they need to take. RUclips Fatigue is way too real.
My only request is that you make the music you want to. We will be listening avidly. Your music has been inspiring and your creative process is yours alone.
"I play what I wanna play, I write what I wanna write."
I truly wish more people had that kind of mindset when creating projects. Too few people will keep to that and it is comforting to hear ya say that. Passion comes from what you "want" to do, not what you "need" to do.
If anyone deserves a break it's you. An album a year for 10 years is an insane pace. Enjoy your time off and take care of yourself
HOLY SHIT AM I EXCITED FOR A SEA SHANY VERSION OF GRAINNE MHAOL! Take all the time you need and do what you want and post whatever you. We'll be excited and enjoy whatever you put out.
Inspiration can't be forced. In the meantime we'll appreciate the songs that have already come out. Because they are masterpieces!
I think that one of the reasons why Valhalla's Calling blew up so much is that it's probably the catchiest melody you've ever written. I've listened to it only once, but found myself humming it couple times a day even two weeks later.
There's a limit to how much work one person can do and in recent years I think people have become far too obsessed with making work their entire reason to be. You're exceptionally talented and there will always be people who admire your music, so there's no reason why you or any creative person shouldn't feel free to do what you want at the pace you want. Best of luck with your new projects going forward. I look forward to whatever you do.
I don't think it's intentionally, just people forgetting that breaks are necessary
I’m actually really, really excited for an instrumental album. I loved Vistas and I’m sure I’d love whatever else you have in the works
This one will be a lot more energetic and bombastic than Vistas but hopefully people will enjoy it just as much :)
@@miracleofsound an energetic instrumental album would be great!
@@miracleofsound Vistas provided a lpt of good ambient "downtime" music* for our Shadowrun RPG sessions, and I'll certainly find use for sth more bombastic.
P.S.: Part of Hengsha's either is or became 1:1 integrated into The New Black Gold, I noticed.
Commander Shepard is... unironically my favourite song of yours. I had no idea it was based on a meme. But I can see why you wouldn't want to remake a gem like that.
"Sea shanty version of Grainne mhaol" O.O
I feel as if you phrased this entire video like you're passing on some bad news to your fans...
but all I'm hearing is "I'm still making music guys, and I'm even gonna go back and improve some of my older stuff and reintroduce it the way it was meant to be, for a newer audience"
and I'm excited to keep listening to your music =)
To understand that you’ve done nonstop work for a long period of time, a good break is much needed
We all are here to support what you do MoS.
He's not the Man of Steel /s
Valhalla Calling is my life theme music. I'd imagine I'm not the only one, so I'm surprised it doesn't have 10M+ views by now :D. Good luck on the Path! ;)
It's almost at 10M
The thing about this is, you've reached the point where no matter what you decide to do, people will still be just as excited. Even if there are no new releases this year or any releases at all. We will be here waiting for whenever something happens. Go take a break from the algorithm, you've earned it.
Don't stress yourself, man! We'll all be here to love whatever you put out regardless of how long it takes!
Yo, you do you Gav. Its been a good ride for years, and i appreciate it
Valhalla calling is a masterpiece on every single level; it has an epic geniune feel, a full and rich sound and inspiring heroic lyrics. And you can sing a long with it which is a huge plus for me as I love songs I can do that with. I played it non stop for 5 days when I first found it, in fact I'm going straight to it from here. I've never played a single minute of any Assassin's creed game, nor do I watch Vikings but that song.... damn it if it doesn't make me feel nostalgic.
So exited for all the stuff you're planning on doing! I love seeing how every time I think you have made my favourite song you go on make an even more awesome one! So keep unthroning my favourite songs :D
Time to go listing to White Wolf on repeat for a few days.
You are the best Gav. Rest well, white wolf.
Keep doing what you love man! Love to see and hear the art that comes out of it!
Absolutely excited about your instrumental versions of songs coming up! Looking forward to hear them out. Keep your inspiration high! ^^
Take your time with anything you feel is worthwhile. We’ll be here supporting you
More remasters? Hell yeah. I always felt that age of the dragon could benefit so much from the equipment and experience you have now.
Take it easy and enjoy the process mate.
Great for you man! Thanks for countless songs i loved over the years!
I’ve listened you your music for about ten years now and it’s all been wonderful so even if it’s not as frequent they’re still going to be amazing. Keep up the great work Gav!
One of my favorites songs is The Death of Rock N Roll and I feel bad when I look at the views...
What do you think about that song Gav?
I love that song :) The low views kinda fit the title lol
You have no idea how big my grin got when you mentioned a shanty Grainne Mhaol. Glad to hear you're taking time for yourself, and I'm hype to hear some of the old songs brought back. Found you through some streamer back in the Level 3 days, and you've been a staple of my playlists ever since. Rock on, mate.
I love your stuff! You combine the geeky theme and lyrics with actual musical ability in a way no one else seems to be able to match.
All the best and whenever you have a new album out I'll be buying it.
i cant wait to get my ears on all your next projects rock on gav!
Gavin thank you for all you do. Take any time you need to recharge and refocus.
I'll tell you why Valhalla Calling is blowing up.
It's a damn good song!
Been here from the start Gav, love you tons. You take as much time as you need, your stuff only gets better and better with time, can’t wait to see what comes next!
Hey man taking care of yourself is important. Hope the year goes well and whatever you put out this year is just as good as everything you've put out so far.
I'm a simple man: I see a new Miracle of Sound album, I buy it.
Regardless of how long it takes for the next to come out.
My mother and I send our love and appreciation - Take care of yourself and know that we love your old and new tunes alike!
We also like re-listening to things - hell, I can speak for her when we say that a vlog wouldn't be amiss. We get worried.
I am all in for remasters and remakes, your songs deserve to ring clear and true as they can!
Love your work Gav, have a good one ❤️
Your music has been amazing for as long as I have listened to you, for at least 2 years now I want to say! Thank you for all you have done, Gavin. You are a beautiful human being and I'm grateful for what you have done, and am glad to hear you are looking to take care of yourself!
Gav you can literally do whatever you want and we will thank you because you'd do it with your heart and with a grant amount of quality as always. You are a big inspiration for me as a musician. Keep going strong!
Love you, and your work. Do what you want, and we will 200% support ya!
I love your music, can't wait to see what the future holds for your channel. Can't wait for future songs!
Most of the songs I've listened to from you, I've never played the games they're based on. They absolutely stand out on their own. And of course, one cannot force themselves to be inspired or invested in something, do what you're best at and do them when you feel like you can best make them. If that means taking a break until you get inspired on your own, so be it. We'll be waiting. Keep rocking on.
Take yor time Gav, the best songs come out when you enjoy what you're doing without burnout.
I always love Hearing from you & listening about your Creative Process. Keep Doing what your Doing & invest in yourself & what make you feel your best. Can't wait to hear the remastered work.
You're a great inspiration Gav, you take your time, get your motivation back on track, hope to see more of your wonderful music!
No game reqs, no movie reqs, or anything like that. Any good fan will understand what you're doing, and as a fan, you do you. My support isn't going anywhere :)
“I’ve never done a song about fortnite or five nights at freddys” thank you. Please don’t. Many of the games you’ve written songs about are my personal favorites, do what you love and don’t play to the algorithm
Anyone who plays the algorithm ends up being played...
As a fortnite and fnaf fan I have to agree with this. A lot of fnaf and fortnite fan songs actually suck because the creator just pumps out songs to keep up with the trend. Plus miracle of sounds style doesn’t really fit with fnaf or fortnite (he could do a song about the zero point but that’s not really what fortnite is known for)
ugh
@@captainrelyk ahem tryhardninja
Much love for you and your work Gav! ❤️❤️
All the best from Poland, Gav!
Gav remember that we are fans and love your music. Do not feel pressured to rush or force music and videos out. Your songs are all amazing and are good introductions into the games themselves. I really wish some one would get you to officially do a song for their IP. Also you are one of the few people who have immortalized some more obscure myths into song like your The Tale Of Cú Chulainn, a great song to introduce people to an Irish hero who most do not know of.
you are the hardest working musician I am aware of. its amazing. you deserve a break. also - up the irons!
Congrats on 10 years of amazing music. I'm super exited to hear what you make next and I think that your plan going forward is the one that will make the best possible music for everyone.
You are a great person, Gav. Your music has inspired me since ME3, with Take It Back. What a song, I still get goosebumps while listening to it. Hope you'll be able to make what you love continually and hit 1 million subs in the next year, year and a half. All the best!
Do what you think is best I support you all the way
I still listen to Calamity and would absolutely love a remake if you feel inspired to do one. I bid you well, good sir.
I love your work, it's wonderful to listen to! Do what you need to do to keep yourself inspired. I'll keep hitting replay on many of your songs, always delighted to hear something new.
Love your stuff ever since my friends introduced me to your song 6 years ago. Please do whats best for you, I will keep rooting for you and your awesome art
You didn't release more than 220 songs ... You realeased more than 220 really awesome songs !
The Assassin creed songs of yours are the best. Downloaded them all and listen to them all the time
Glad to hear you're taking time to do the things you're passionate about. I'm really excited to see what you've got going on this year, and even if there are fewer songs, it's quality over quantity. I expect what you release this year is going to blow us away!
You are an inspiration when it comes to creativity and pure awesomeness. Looking forward to whatever you decide to produce, and I am excited for those remasters!
Don't worry Man, if you need a break take it. A creator should always come first, we will be there even for one song per year cause we know it will be one hell of a song
Amen to that!!
You do you, we'll be here waiting :)
this is awesome! I was thinking the other day what it would be interesting to see what you would do if you went back over some of your older songs. I look forward to seeing what you do! take care of yourself and that this year sees you well.
Looking forward to whatever you produce, it always feels and sounds much better when you're inspired, it really shows. Best of luck!
Take some time off. You've earned it :). The first Miracle of Sound song I listened to. Was the Crush, and I've been hooked ever since.
I'll just listen to Life and Loss for the 20,000th time, you take the time you need.
Thanks for the update, Gav! Of course, making songs about things you're inspired makes perfect sense.
Love your work, Gav.
I'm sure you're able to figure out what's best for your music and yourself. I'm looking forward to whatever project you're devoting yourself to this year (the instrumentals sound really exciting).
Я не хочу позориться своим ужасным английским, но хочу выразить свою любовь к Гэвину ❤
Relax, thank you for 10 years of *epic/beautiful music* and take all the time you need :)
1:30 What about songs about other stuff that inspires you? Here's what's inspiring but often overlooked:
SpaceX's mission, Boston Dynamics insane robotics, NATO or UN's mission or perhaps go into history (like Sabaton does)
I think that'd be cool, if he wants to do real life event songs. His song "A Long Year" really gave people deep chills. Still does
Thank you for everything. I hope you are satisfied with the work you can do moving forward and I hope music becomes more fun for you as well. Have a great year man, you deserve it.
What an incredible decade this has been for you Gav! You've given us just the most beautiful array of songs, so diverse a spectrum that I can hardly put it into words. Whatever you decide to do, you've more than made your mark. Thank you for all that you do, your songs have singlehandedly gotten me into Assassins Creed, Wolfenstein and Fallout, and I feel like I know so much about games I've never played just by listening to your music. Keep on rockin', and all the best :)
"There's not that many games i'm excited about this year in regards to songs" - Lists enough games that if he made a song for each he'd still have a higher output than most artists.
“I can already see you down in the comments, oh play this game” I feel that. I’m always just excited to see what game has grabbed you. I don’t want to suggest games. I want to learn through your music. A friend and I have bonded over the amazing games we found, because you put a song out for it. I trust your judgment on what musically is best! I’m also super excited to hear this remasters!
Immense respect for you sir, glad you are changing things up to work best for you!
Love your work you do you!
